I am not too disturbed either not yet. I hope our role players wake up. I don't know what they are doing right now but its not working. They better be shooting in the gym considering all the bricks they are shooting.

Gerald Green has 21 pts on on 8-14 shooting from the field and 5-10 shooting from the 3. GERALD GREEN! Not Danny Green, but the journeyman Gerald Green?! Just when I thought our defense was improving we have a performance like this.

We were getting better while our players were healthy. Even the bench was getting better. But everything was thrown out of whack when JJ and Bullock got injured. It not only changes our starters, but changes our bench. Our defense has gotten a lot better and once everybody is back, so will our offense. I firmly believe that. I will admit, we may have to address our Dudley issue however.

Yeah, at least that year we had K-Mart and Reggie Evans who were specialist players. K-Mart was a great defender and Reggie rebounded as we all know. I'm having a difficult time trying to find out what most of these back ups are even contributing.

You should check his game logs for the season, and this Green has a lot more scoring potential than the other Green on a nightly basis

I know injuries been an issue. But all teams face injury situations, good teams don't let injuries falter them though.

The team's defense overall's got better. But there are still guys like Dudley and Crawford who just constantly get blown by. They must be playing great offense in order to make up for their poor defense. If they're playing anything average or less than that offensively, then they're useless.

I'm aware, but Danny Green at least had that unbelievable Finals. But maybe that wasn't the best comparison I could have made.

A lot of people felt that this team had some serious flaws when they put it together this summer -

No great defensive players (not counting an emerging DJ) and losing youth and athleticism. I think it is too much to hope for big bounce backs from Dudley, green, barnes, crAwford, collison, etc. Mullens was a head scratcher. This team needs a shake up, this current core just doesn't have that extra something that previous blake/cp3 teams had. I would love to see doc coach last years bunch..

Well, I can't argue with that. And we still have a winning record without those guys. But we're just not playing as well.

actually was thinking more of swaggy p, streaky scorer but a good scorer nonetheless, he is leading bench scoring for the fakers this season

He's been pretty decent. Averaged 15 pts in November and had 17+ pts 6 times that month. This is his 7th 20+ pt game this season.

Had back to back to back 19, 22, 22 vs Denver, Dallas, LAL a week and a half ago with 6, 4 and 6 three's made. Don't feel too bad about it, lol, he can be explosive with scoring and 3PT shooting

Team has to clean up the Doc mess and trim bench fat. Time to move on from Jamison, Jackson, Mullens, Wayns, Green, and maybe even Hollins and get some bench help.

Crawford basically does the same thing for us though. He scores, but not much else. I think Crawford is actually the better scorer too, although it is pretty close between the two.

The "other" Green has a better FG% and 3PT%. Still take Danny.

Crawford is capable of more than just being a scorer, but he isn't necessarily as interested in the playmaking aspects of basketball life on a nightly basis

gerald green has always had potential to be a good player given his athletic ability but is usually scared by bad play/shots which keeps him from seeing any playing time, suns has been a good situation and an opportunity for him since they looked like tanking the season anyways

Up to this point in the season, after a horrible loss like this, I was at least able to focus on football to distract me. Now that my football is out of the playoffs, I don't know what to do with myself haha. How many you are in the same position?

Also lack of defense and like you said, bad shot selection! which is why this is only his second actual efficient scoring season. Usually he's below average efficiency as a scorer.

Damn. To go from the high of watching our boy Blake go for 40...to the low of getting blown out at home. That's a tough roller coaster.
